How Do Avon Reps Get Paid?

Thinking about joining Avon or maybe you’re already a rep and wondering how the whole “getting paid” thing works? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Let’s go through the different ways you can earn with Avon, whether you’re sticking to traditional paper brochures, going all digital, or doing a bit of both!


1. Paper Brochures Only

If you’re more of an old-school rep and love handing out paper brochures to your customers, here’s how it works:

  • First, deliver your brochures with a friendly message introducing yourself, and let your customers know when you’ll be back to collect their orders.
  • Once you’ve gathered their order forms back in, you log into your Avon account and place the order.
  • When your delivery is sent out, Avon emailed you an invoice. This shows:
    • How much your customers need to pay you.
    • Your rep discount (a.k.a. your earnings).
    • How much you owe Avon after your discount has been taken off.
  • Now it’s time to deliver the products and collect payments from your customers. Pro tip: Don’t hand over any products until they’ve paid you—it keeps things simple and stress-free.
  • Finally, you pay Avon the amount on your invoice. The leftover cash? That’s your earnings!

Example: Let’s say your customers order £400 worth of products. If you’re earning a 25% discount, you’ll pay Avon £300 and keep £100 as your profit.


2. Digital Brochure Only

If you’re all about that digital life (and honestly, who isn’t these days?), here’s how it works when you use Avon’s online tools:

  • Share your digital brochure or personal website link with your customers. You can do this via WhatsApp, social media, email—whatever works best for you.
  • Customers browse, add products to their basket, and pay Avon directly at checkout. Easy peasy!
  • Avon delivers the products straight to their door, so you don’t have to worry about handling orders or payments. It’s a lifesaver when you’re busy.
  • Your commission is added to your Avon Rep Balance. If you owe Avon anything, the commission helps reduce your balance. If not, Avon owes you! Add your bank details to your account, and they’ll pay your earnings directly to your bank weekly.

Example: If a customer spends £50 online and you’re on a 20% commission level, £10 gets added to your balance. It’s that simple!


3. Hybrid (Paper + Digital)

Why not have the best of both worlds? With a hybrid approach, you can reach more customers and boost your sales. Here’s how it works:

  • Share your paper brochures as usual, but also send out your digital brochure and website link to anyone who prefers online shopping.
  • Customers who love the personal touch can order through you directly using the paper brochure, while others can shop online and enjoy Avon’s direct delivery service.
  • You’ll earn commission on both types of sales! Just keep in mind that digital orders work a bit differently, as Avon pays you directly through your Rep Balance.

Quick Tips for Maximising Your Earnings

  • Group Orders: If you’re using paper brochures, try to combine orders to hit the £40 minimum for free delivery. It saves you money and boosts your profit.
  • Share the Love: The digital brochure is perfect for customers who live further away or prefer the convenience of online shopping.
  • Know Your Discount Levels: The more you sell, the bigger your commission and exactly how this works differs depending on if you are in your first 3 months with Avon or after. You can find full details of this in your incentives guide once logged in to your account.

Still Have Questions?

If anything’s unclear or you’re wondering how to make the most of your Avon business, drop me a message! Whether you’re a paper brochure queen, a digital whiz, or somewhere in between, there’s always a way to make Avon work for you.

Why WhatsApp Broadcasts Work

At RepsAnywhere, we’re all about working smarter, not harder. A WhatsApp broadcast is a fantastic way to let your friends and family know about your new Avon business without spending hours messaging everyone individually.

The beauty of a broadcast is that it looks like a personal message to each recipient. They’ll see it as a private chat with you, even though you’ve sent it to multiple people at once. Of course, if you prefer, you can message people individually and tailor each message to them. You can also share your digital brochure through Facebook Messenger, email, text message, or whichever platform you use to chat with your friends and family. The choice is yours!

Who Should You Message?

Let’s be clear—we’re not talking about messaging everyone in your contacts list or anyone you’ve ever spoken to. Instead, think about your close friends and family—those who love Avon or will be excited to support you on your new journey. Keep it genuine—it’s about sharing your excitement, not spamming.

Message Idea 1: Excited and Friendly

Hi, I’m so excited to share that I’ve started my Avon business!
My first digital brochure is packed with amazing Christmas offers, and I’d love it if you could take a look: [Insert link].
If it’s not for you, that’s totally fine, but if you know anyone who loves Avon, I’d be so grateful if you could share the link with them. Thank you so much!

Message Idea 2: Short and Simple

Hi, just wanted to let you know I’ve started selling Avon.
Here’s my first digital brochure—it’s got some brilliant Christmas deals: [Insert link].
Let me know if you’d like to order anything or if you can share this with someone who loves Avon. Thanks!

Message Idea 3: Thoughtful and Personal

Hi! I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to let you know I’ve just started my Avon business!
If you’re looking for Christmas gifts or even a little treat for yourself, here’s my digital brochure: [Insert link].
No pressure at all, but I’d be so grateful if you could have a look or share it with someone who loves Avon. Thanks so much for your support!

How to Send a WhatsApp Broadcast

Here’s how to send a WhatsApp broadcast message:

On iPhone:

1. Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats screen.

2. Tap the + icon at the top and select New Broadcast.

3. Select the contacts you want to include in the broadcast (remember to choose those most likely to be excited for you!).

4. Type your message and send it. That’s it!


Make It Your Own

Launching your Avon business is exciting, and this simple step can help you hit the ground running. Remember, it’s about sharing your news in a way that feels authentic to you. Whether you use WhatsApp, Messenger, email, or another platform, this is a great way to get started.

The Avon Rep’s Guide to Hosting Parties That Engage, Entertain, and Sell

Why Host an Avon Party?

Hosting an Avon party is an excellent way to connect with customers, showcase products, and boost sales. Whether you’re a seasoned representative or hosting your first event, this guide offers practical tips to ensure your party is a success, both in-person and online.

Parties are a fun, relaxed way to introduce Avon products, strengthen relationships, and drive sales. Many reps find that hosting regular events leads to significant increases in sales and customer engagement.

Planning Your Party

1. Choose Your Format: In-Person or Online?

Decide whether you want to host your event in person or online. Both formats work well, and it’s really about what suits you and your customers. Many representatives have seen excellent sales results from online parties, proving that this format can be just as effective as in-person gatherings.

2. Keep It Simple

You don’t need a big, elaborate setup. While some reps love to create beautiful displays with lighting and decorations, you can keep it minimal. A few of your favourite Avon products and some brochures are enough to make an impact. Focus on showcasing the quality of a select few items—your enthusiasm and personal experience will sell the rest!

3. Find a Hostess / Host

If you’re not ready to host at home, ask a customer to be the hostess and invite their friends and family. This is a great way to meet new customers. You can even offer the hostess a gift or a discount on sales from the evening to sweeten the deal.

How to Run Your Party

1. Welcome Your Guests

Start by welcoming everyone, introducing yourself, and thanking your hostess (if you have one). A small gift for the hostess, like a mascara or hand cream, is a nice touch. Talk briefly about your journey as an Avon representative to create a personal connection with your guests.

2. Showcase Your Top Picks

Select two or three products to demonstrate. Keep it simple! You might highlight skincare, makeup, or wellness products depending on the interests of your audience. Tailor your product recommendations to the guests—for example, talk about gifts for family members or items that make great stocking fillers.

3. Encourage Participation

Encourage your guests to get involved by passing around samples or inviting them to try the products. If you’re doing an online party, encourage comments and questions in the chat. Keep the atmosphere fun and interactive!

4. Make the Most of Your Brochures

Remember, your brochures are an essential tool. You can’t show every product, so use the brochure to help guide your guests through Avon’s full range. It’s an easy way for customers to explore more of what Avon has to offer.

Closing the Party

1. Offer Discounts and Incentives

Give guests an incentive to buy on the night, such as offering a discount or a free gift with purchases over a certain amount. This can encourage them to place larger orders and get excited about future parties.

2. Promote Future Parties

Always mention the opportunity for guests to host their own party. Offer them a small incentive, like a discount or free product, for booking a party on the night. This keeps your sales cycle going and helps you meet new customers through your current ones.

3. Follow Up

After the party, make sure to follow up with your guests. Ask how they’re getting on with their products, and if they’re interested in anything else. Follow-ups are key to maintaining strong customer relationships and boosting repeat sales.

Avon Party Resources

Avon makes it easy for you to host a party with tools available through Avon Academy. Download the printable wish lists, invites, and display signs to make your party feel professional. Use these resources to enhance your setup and provide your guests with more ways to engage.

Top Tips for Success

  • Start Small: Your party doesn’t need to be a grand affair. Keep it simple, share your passion for the products, and your customers will naturally be excited to buy.
  • Over-Invite: Not everyone will be able to attend, so it’s a good idea to invite more guests than you expect.
  • Product Samples: If your hostess is open to it, send her a few samples of key products ahead of the party so she can help get the conversation going with her own experience.
  • Digital Tools: Use WhatsApp or Facebook to invite guests and follow up. It’s an easy way to keep in touch and build excitement leading up to the party.
  • Be Yourself: At the end of the day, your enthusiasm for the products is your biggest selling tool. Don’t worry about knowing every detail—your genuine passion will inspire trust and sales.

Ready to Host Your Own Avon Party?

Hosting an Avon party is a fantastic way to engage with your customers, grow your network, and boost your sales—all while having fun. With the right planning, a few key products, and some creativity, you can create an unforgettable experience that your guests will love.

Whether you’re new to party hosting or just looking for fresh ideas, the resources available on Avon Academy can help you every step of the way. So why not start planning your next party today and watch your Avon business thrive?

Your Rep website’s Order Tracking page will update as your return is processed, showing “Credit Requested” and “Credit Processed” when complete.

How Are Returns Credited?

Orders and returns are treated as separate transactions. Once Avon processes your returned product, the credit will be applied to your account. Return products promptly to ensure quick credit. Once received, it typically takes 5-7 working days to process the return and apply the credit.

Remember: If a customer won’t be paying for a product, return it promptly. Otherwise, you may need to pay Avon out of pocket until the return is processed and credited.

Types of Returns and Credits

  • General Replacements: If you need a replacement for a product, return it and reorder. Credit will be applied once Avon receives the returned item.
  • Missing Products: If any products listed on your invoice are missing from your order, you can request credit through your Rep account. Avon will verify this and apply the credit the next working day.
  • Damaged or Faulty Products: If any products arrive damaged or faulty, you can process a credit for these through your Rep account. Credit will be applied once Avon receives the returned items.

How to Reduce the Number of Returns

While some returns are inevitable, here are a few tips to help reduce the number of products you need to send back:

  • Deliver Quickly: The longer it takes for a customer to receive their product, the more likely they are to change their mind or spend the money elsewhere. Instead of waiting to place all your customers’ orders at once at the end of the month, try batching orders every week or two weeks to reduce delivery times.
  • Offer Returned Items to Other Customers: Instead of returning an item, consider offering it to other customers at a discount or cost price. You won’t earn as much (or anything), but it saves you the hassle of a return and still contributes to your sales volume. Everyone loves a bargain, and if you present it well, this can feel like an exclusive perk for your customers—the opportunity to grab a great deal. WhatsApp broadcast lists or Facebook groups are great for reaching multiple customers quickly.
  • Reducing damaged items: Although the warehouse does its best to pack products securely, damage can still occur. To reduce the likelihood of damage, consider ordering brochures separately if you need a quantity other than a multiple of 40, as they are pre-packed in boxes of 40. Ordering different quantities means they will be packed loose with other products, increasing the risk of damage. Delivery is free for brochure-only orders (with a £0.50 handling fee). If possible, it may also be helpful to order bulkier products separately from more fragile items.

Avon Returns: Frequently Asked Questions

Why Might Avon Reps Need to Return Products?

These are the most common reasons that Avon reps usually need to return products:
Customer Changed Their Mind: Sometimes customers change their minds after ordering.
Incorrect Orders: You or your customer may have ordered the wrong item or too many of an item.
Satisfaction Guarantee: Avon offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so customers can return products if they aren’t fully happy with them.
Damaged or Incorrect Item Received: Occasionally products can get damaged in transit or an incorrect item can be sent out.

Will returning a product over the end of a campaign impact my Award Sales?

Returns submitted towards the end of one campaign may impact the future campaign’s Award Sales.

Will returning a product over the end of a campaign impact my Sales Leader commission?

Award Sales will be deducted once a product has been received. If you return a product in one campaign and it is received in another, your Award Sales may show negatively at the beginning of the new campaign unless your sales exceed the amount of that return.

What happens if I am missing an entire box from my Avon order?

Contact Avon for an update on its location or to have a replacement box sent out.

Do I still need Avon Returns labels from paper invoices?

No, Avon has switched to online invoices and these labels are no longer required.

Can I use my old Avon Returns books and bags? 

Yes, but they may not have updated returns process information.

What happens if my payment is due before my return is processed? 

Settle your account balance in full if possible. If not, contact the Order Management team on 0333 234 5555 for support.

What will happen if my order is held due to return/credit delays?

Settle your account balance in full if you can. If that is not possible, contact the Order Management team on 0333 234 5555 for further support.

What if my return is lost?

Keep your Proof of Return so that Avon can investigate with their delivery partners. Avon will only accept the barcode number from the carrier label (Evri/ParcelForce) as proof of return.

What if I need to replace a product?

Replacements are handled by returning the product and reordering. Credit is applied once Avon receives the item. If you return a product over the end of a campaign and the price has changed, the new campaign’s price will apply. If a return is needed due to an Avon error (e.g., damaged or faulty products) and the price change negatively impacts you, contact the Relationship Centre for an adjustment. In other circumstances (e.g., changing size/shade/colour), the new campaign’s price will apply.

Disclaimer: This comprehensive guide has been compiled using various sources provided by Avon and our own experience with the returns process. While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information as of 11 October 2024, there may be errors or changes to the policy over time. If you are viewing this guide in the future, please verify details directly with Avon to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.

Avon’s Magic Number: Why 40 Brochures is the Sweet Spot for Success!

One of the most common questions I get asked is, “How many brochures do I need each month?” Well, Avon has done the research, and it turns out the answer is 40 brochures!

Why 40 Brochures?

It turns out, 40 is the magic number that can help you build a solid customer base. By sharing 40 brochures every campaign, you’re likely to reach at least 17 customers each month. The more people you connect with, the more orders you’re likely to receive, which means higher earnings and faster progress towards Avon’s Gold Star Rep status.

What’s So Special About Gold Star Status?

Gold Star is the first big milestone in your Avon journey. Hitting Gold Star status means you’re not just making good sales—you’re setting yourself up to earn some brilliant perks, including a 25% discount on all your personal orders and an extra £50 in your pocket every month.

But it doesn’t stop there! Once you’ve mastered Gold Star, you can aim even higher:

  • Platinum Star Status: Achieve this by consistently growing your sales and you’ll earn a 30% discount on all your orders. That’s a huge boost for your earnings!
  • VIP Star Status: The ultimate goal! When you reach VIP, you unlock a 32% discount, meaning you’re making the very most out of every sale.

So, while Gold Star is a solid step forward, it’s just the beginning of what’s possible. Reaching 17 regular customers each campaign isn’t just about building your business—it’s about setting yourself up for long-term success and unlocking more and more rewards as you go.

How to Make the Most of Your 40 Brochures

Wondering how to get those brochures into the right hands? Here are some tried-and-tested tips:

  • Share through the doors of a new street: This is a great way to expand your reach and introduce yourself to new customers in your area.
  • Share with your work colleagues: Got a day job? Leave a few brochures in the break room, and you might find some new customers among your colleagues.
  • Ask friends and family to be your “Avon Angels”: Give them a couple of brochures to pass around to their friends and co-workers. The more people who see the brochure, the better!
  • Drop a few brochures into local beauty salons and hairdressers: These spots are perfect for finding people who love to try new beauty products.
  • Take them with you when you’re out and about: Whether you’re popping to the shops or picking up the kids, have a few brochures on hand. You never know who you’ll meet!

Got More Customers? Get More Brochures!

Of course, as your business grows, you might need more than 40 brochures. The goal is to keep expanding your reach, and having more brochures to share means more opportunities to connect with new customers and increase your sales.

So, if you want to start strong or give your business a boost, make 40 brochures your starting point. You’ll be surprised by how quickly your customer base can grow!

Happy selling!

How to Find New Avon Customers

Starting your Avon business can feel daunting, but the good news is you don’t have to do it alone! When you join Avon through RepsAnywhere, we’ll send customers to you to help you get started. Each month, hundreds of eager customers visit our website looking for the latest brochures, and we send them to our team members’ online brochures. When customers place an order through your digital brochure, you don’t even need to worry about delivery—Avon takes care of everything, and you earn the commission straight into your account!

But that’s just the beginning. To really grow your Avon business, you’ll want to find your own customers too. There are so many ways you can find new customers because you can run your Avon business your way. Here, we’ll cover some of the most common strategies—from starting with friends and family to using the classic paper brochure and making the most of digital tools.

Start with Friends and Family

The best place to begin when you’re a new Avon rep is by reaching out to friends, family, and neighbours. They already know and trust you, so they’re more likely to be your first customers. Show them the latest brochure and talk them through some of the exciting offers. Even if they’re not looking to buy right now, ask if they can share the brochure with others they know—maybe colleagues at work, school mums, or friends at the gym. This can give your business a quick boost and help grow your customer base fast.

Tips for Getting Started:

  • Leave Brochures at Work: Ask your friends and family to take a few brochures into their workplace and leave them in the break room for others to browse.
  • Get Them to Share: Provide some extra brochures and encourage them to pass them along to anyone who might be interested.
  • Offer an Incentive: A small thank-you gift or discount for every order they help you get can go a long way. This is a great way to turn your friends and family into Avon ambassadors!

Finding Customers with the Paper Brochure

The paper brochure is one of your go-to tools for connecting with potential new customers. It’s perfect for leaving a lasting impression, especially for those who love flipping through a physical catalogue. Here are some ways to use it effectively:

1. Always Have Brochures on Hand

When you’re out and about, always carry a few spare brochures with you. You never know when you might meet someone who’s interested in Avon! Whether you’re running errands, meeting friends, or attending community events, having brochures on hand is a simple way to introduce new customers to your products.

2. Canvas New Streets

One classic way to find new customers is by canvassing your local area. Knock on doors and introduce yourself with a smile. Mention that you’re the local Avon rep, and offer a brochure to anyone who’s interested. If no one is home, leave a brochure along with your contact details so they can get in touch later.

Top Tip: When leaving brochures, record which houses you’ve targeted and when you plan to collect them.

3. Make the Most of Existing Customers

Don’t forget about your existing customers! When delivering orders, include a few extra brochures and ask if they’d be happy to pass them on to friends, family, or colleagues. Offer a small incentive, like a discount or a free product for each new order they help you get.

Finding Customers with the Online Brochure

With the rise of digital shopping, the online brochure is an essential tool for reaching new customers beyond your local area. It’s easy to share and keeps you connected even when you can’t meet face-to-face.

1. Share Your Digital Brochure on Social Media

Social media is a fantastic way to reach a wider audience. Post your digital brochure link on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, and make sure your followers know where to find it. When you post about specific products, include direct links so it’s easy for new customers to order from you right away.

2. Run Social Media Giveaways

Giveaways are a great way to attract attention and grow your follower count. Offer a small prize—maybe a popular Avon product—and encourage people to like, comment, and share your post. This not only gets people excited but also introduces new potential customers to your business.

3. Send a Digital Brochure Reminder

Sometimes, a gentle reminder is all it takes to turn a potential order into a sale. After sharing your digital brochure, follow up with a friendly message like: “Hey, I wanted to check if you’ve had a chance to look through the new brochure. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to add to my next order!” This kind of personal touch can be just what’s needed to spark interest and encourage them to shop.

Other Ways to Find Customers

Expanding your reach isn’t just about brochures—it’s about being visible, building relationships, and making Avon a part of your everyday life. Here are some more creative ways to find new customers:

1. Hold Your Own Events

Hosting Avon parties or pop-up stands is a great way to meet new customers. Choose a theme, like skincare or makeup, and invite people to come along, either in person or online. Use these events to showcase products, offer demos, and create a fun shopping experience.

2. Partner with Local Businesses

Try partnering with local shops, gyms, or community centres to set up a small display of Avon products or leave some brochures in their waiting areas. This puts you in front of potential customers who may not have heard of Avon before.

3. Use Customer Referrals

Word of mouth is incredibly powerful. If you give great customer service, your customers will likely recommend you to their friends, family, and colleagues. Consider running a referral scheme where customers get a small discount or freebie for every new customer they bring to you.

Get Creative and Have Fun!

The best way to find new customers is to get creative and have fun with it. Avon offers so many ways to connect with people, whether you prefer chatting face-to-face, building an online presence, or running events. Experiment with different methods to see what works best for you, and remember, it’s all about building relationships.

If you’re not already an Avon Rep, now’s a great time to join and start taking advantage of all the support and resources available to help you build your business. We’ll even send customers your way to get you off to a great start!
